- MCM Multicarrier Modulation
- OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing
- DMT Discrete Multitone Modulation
- MCM multicarrier Modulation
- An MCM signal can also be tailor made to account for the channels characteristics. For example it can be made to remove certain carriers, thereby avoiding narrowband interference at known frequencies, see reference 1.
- OFDM is a form of multicarrier modulation where the subchannel carriers are orthogonal to each other so allowing the use of Fast Fourier Transformation techniques, hereinafter denoted as FFT, and of Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation techniques, hereinafter denoted as IFFT, for the receiver and transmitter functions, eliminating the need for a bank of mixers.
- FFT Fast Fourier Transformation techniques
- IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation techniques
- a major use of OFDM is in digital audio broadcasting, hereinafter denoted as DAB. Since MCM is robust against multipath fading it will also produce reasonable results if the signals are transmitted from two different transmitter sites where the interference between the two is like that of multipath propagation. This results in efficient use of the radio spectrum which is a major advantage when there is little spectrum available. MCM can be used for the transmission of low rate video and it has been proposed that it can be used for Digital Video Broadcasting to ensure that mobile signals are reliably received from digital Terrestrial Television broadcasting, see reference 2.
- OFDM uses a large number of carriers, each of which is modulated by a data signal, and therefore the bit rate associated with each carrier can be made relatively low, the effects of inter-symbol interference due to multipath propagation can be minimised.
- the multi-carrier transmission is generated and demodulated using IFFT and FFT algorithms respectively. This can be computationally expensive, particularly since typical systems can use several megahertz of bandwidth, and the whole of this bandwidth must be sampled and processed.
- This proposal is aimed at those applications where it is required to receive (or generate) only a subset of the total number of carriers. This is appropriate where several data signals are multiplexed onto a single broadband transmission. For example, in audio broadcasting it may be desired to receive only one of several audio channels, each of which has been allocated to a number of the available carrier frequencies.
- a base station may be transmitting data to several users, and the traffic for each user will be partitioned among the available carriers. On the other hand each user will only wish to demodulate their own data signals.
- the return transmission from each user to the base station may only need a small number of the available carriers.
- OFDM frequency selective fading environment
- This diversity is achieved because although at any given moment some of carriers may be experiencing fading, the others will not.
- Channel coding can then be applied to correct the transmission errors from the fading carriers, giving Coded OFDM, hereinafter denoted as COFDM.
- COFDM Coded OFDM
- the benefit of frequency diversity is maximised if the carriers used for a particular data channel are spread as far apart as possible in the frequency domain.
- One convenient way of achieving this is to partition the available carriers into sets of uniformly spaced so called combs, where each data channel is allocated to the carriers of a particular comb. The combs for each channel (or user) are then interleaved in frequency.
- a system which transmits 1024 carriers, each of which is modulated e.g. by DPSK at a rate of 1kbps.
- the symbol duration is therefore 1ms.
- the carrier spacing can be 1kHz, which gives a total bandwidth of about 1MHz.
- 8 carriers are assigned to a single data channel which for instance has a bit rate of 8 kbps, then a total of 128 channels can be supported.
- the carrier spacing for the "comb" of one data channel is then 128kHz.
- the transmitter there is some means for conversion between a baseband representation of the multicarrier signal and an RF version. It is also assumed that the receiver has means for converting the RF signal to a baseband version, and some means of obtaining frequency and time synchronisation to allow correct demodulation of the data.
- the signal may well be represented by I (in-phase) and Q (quadrature) components. Well known techniques exist for these processes.
- DSP digital signal processing
- the number of arithmetic operations required can be estimated.
- the basic FFT requires of the order of Nlog 2 N operations, where N is the FFT size. Since these operations are on complex numbers the quantity of operations must be multiplied by some factor (about 4 is reasonable) to convert to real floating point operations as commonly used in measuring the complexity of DSP algorithms.
- N 1024
- an efficient implementation of a split radix FFT of 1024 points is quoted as requiring 34774 non-trivial operations, equivalent to about 35MOPS.
- a transmission system solving the problem which is the basis of said object of the present invention is defined by the characteristics of the main claim.
- a receiver stage to be used with the transmission system according to the present invention is given by the characteristics of claim 2.
- a signal which consists of a harmonically related set of signal components is in general periodic with a period equal to the reciprocal of the minimum frequency separation between each component. Therefore in the example system mentioned in the aforesaid a symbol period of 1ms is considered.
- each of the carriers present can be represented by a sinusoid with a phase determined by the modulating data. If it is ensured that the baseband representation is such that one of the carriers of the desired data channel is positioned at zero frequency, then the other carriers from the same data channel will form a harmonically related set. This condition can be achieved by appropriate choice of local oscillator frequency for down-conversion from RF.
- the carriers from the wanted data channel form a periodic signal with period of 1/128000, which repeats 128 times within the symbol time of 1ms.
- the wanted carriers can then be recovered by adding together each of these repeating periods.
- Receiver sampling frequency f s 1024000 Hz Receiver sampling frequency f s 1024000 Hz
- the number of carriers allocated to one channel may be different. This could also be dynamic depending on the required data rate.
- Additional processing would be required for carrier and timing acquisition. This may be possible by extension of the demodulation process described here. Alternatively it could be aided by transmission of special information on some of the carriers, for example unmodulated tones on some carriers and special data sequences on others.
- the input data to the receiver will probably be sampled by some form of analog-to-digital-converter. In general this may not need to have a high degree of accuracy (e.g. a few bits or perhaps one single bit). This is because the use of the above-mentioned equation will tend to reduce any effects due to quantisation noise.
- a similar approach can be applied to modulation, where it is required to generate a regularly spaced "comb" of carriers over a wide frequency range.
- the fundamental period of the waveform can be generated via an IFFT. This period is then repeated for the required symbol duration. The number of repetitions determines the frequency spacing between carriers.
- the demodulation (or modulation) method given by the present invention can be easily implemented using conventional programmable DSP techniques. Simulations have shown that good performance can be obtained for data rates and radio channels appropriate for mobile radio communication systems.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing schematically the carrier spacing of a system with 128 users resp. channels and 8 carriers per user,
- Fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an example for a MCM transmission system to which the invention can be related
- Fig. 3 is a schematic block diagram of a receiver stage for a transmission system according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 a set of carriers is plotted over the baseband frequency beginning with zero.
- the carrier spacing shown comprises the carriers as explained together with the
- example system There are 128 users resp. channels in the transmission system, the information data of each channel spread over 8 carriers each.
- the spacing between two carriers being adjacent to each other on the frequency axis in this embodiment is given as 2 kHz, the total number of carriers is 1024, such the carriers are spread over a bandwidth of in total 2048 kHz.
- the carriers are arranged in the form of a "comb” comprising all the carriers related to one single channel resp. user, consequently each "comb” has eight “teeth", the "teeth” being the carrier frequencies.
- the spacing between the carriers related to one of the users therefore is 128 kHz.
- the carriers cl to c8 related to user ul are placed on the frequency axis at 0, 256, 512, ... , 1792 kHz, the carriers cl to c8 related to user u2 are placed at 2, 258, 514, ... , 1794 kHz, etc., and the carriers cl to c8 related to user ul28 are placed at 254, 510, 766, ... , 1790, 2046 kHz.
- a maximum spacing between the carriers related to the same user is achieved.
- Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of a MCM transmission system with a transmitter stage I at the top, a channel for the transmission of the signals prepared by the transmitter stage I, hereinafter more precisely denoted as transmission line 2 (which will be, in fact, a wireless broadcasting connection), and a receiver stage 3_ at the bottom of the drawing.
- the transmitter stage 1 comprises a merging means 4 for merging the signals of a number of users resp channels which number may be 128 in accordance with the example system described above.
- These merging means 4 combine input signals from the users being inputted in parallel on lines 5 to obtain a merged input signal including the information from all users at its output 6.
- the information signals from the users Before being inputted to merging means 4 the information signals from the users optionally can be coded in a coding stage 7. This coding can be desirable to correct noise.
- coding methods for obtaining noise suppression known to those skilled in the art. However, the application of such a method is not the aim of the present invention and will therefore not be discussed here.
- the merged signal is inputted in serial form to a first serial- to-parallel-converter 8 where it is split up into a number of parallel signal channels according to the number of carriers used in the transmission system.
- These parallel signal channels are fed into a modulator stage 9 wherein the carriers shown in Fig. 1 are modulated by the parallel signal channels by way of DPSK.
- the modulated carriers are then fed into an LFFT means 10. This is a stage in which the modulated carriers are transformed in the way of Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation.
- the modulated carriers transformed in that manner are then fed into a first parallel-to-serial-converter 11 to give a single serial signal to be transmitted across the transmission line 2.
- the signals transmitted across transmission line 2 are fed into a second serial- to-parallel-converter 12, in which they are split up into parallel signals for the single carriers each.
- These parallel signals are fed into a FFT means 13 transforming the signals inputted by Fast Fourier Transformation and ou putting them to a demodulator stage 14 in which the modulated carriers are demodulated by way of DPSK method.
- a number of parallel output signals from demodulator stage 14 conesponding to the number of carriers is then fed into a second parallel-to-serial-converter 15 to obtain a single serial signal comprising all the information of all carriers, that means of all users resp. channels.
- This serial signal is fed into a splitting means 16 for splitting up the information into the channels for the users connected to output lines 17 of splitting means 16. To each of the output lines 17 one user resp. channel is connected.
- a decoding stage 18 is provided (for each of the users) for decoding the signals in case they are coded by coding means like coding stage 7.
- IFFT means 10 and FFT means 13 have to perform a very large number of arithmetic operations.
- receiver stage 3_ only has to provide the data resp. information signal related to one channel resp. user, a large portion of this number of operations can be saved according to the invention.
- Fig. 3 shows an example of a receiver stage according to the invention.
- This receiver stage comprises an antenna 19 connected to a RF input of a down converter stage 20 converting the RF signals received via antenna 19 to zero LF.
- the conversion is done by mixing the RF signals with a local oscillator frequency obtained from a local oscillator, hereinafter denoted as LO 21.
- the down converted signals obtained from an output 22 of down converter 20 are of the form as shown in Fig. 1 with a set of carriers regularly spaced.
- the circuit of Fig. 3 further comprises an analog-to-digital-converter, hereinafter denoted as ADC 23, in which samples S(t) are taken from the signal obtained from output 22. These samples S(t) are fed into a (digital) comb filter stage 24.
- ADC 23 analog-to-digital-converter
- Comb filter stage 24 constitutes a comb filtering and decimation filter means according to the invention.
- a (digital) output signal is derived from the samples S(t) by way of the above-mentioned equation
- X(t) are the samples of the output signal as obtained by said processing.
- Such the information of a determined number of carriers related to a chosen user resp. channel is filtered out of the entire signal and made available in form of samples
- the circuit shown in Fig. 3 further comprises a synchronization and control stage 30 being fed by the signal derived from output 22 of down converter 20.
- a control signal can be generated for controlling the oscillation frequency of LO 21, where down converter 20, synchronization and control stage 30 and LO 21 form a control loop.
- Synchronization and control stage 30 further leads control signals to ADC 23, comb filter stage 24, FFT stage 25 and demodulation and decision stage 28.
- Comb filter stage 24 can be programmable to select and process a chosen part of the totality of modulated carriers transmitted via antenna 19. According to that, FFT stage 25 can also be programmable to determine the size of the FFT to be applied to the samples X(t). Such, a choice can be made whether to evaluate the information related to only one channel or to a number of channels up to the total number. By this way the minimum possible amount of processing is needed in all cases.
